Lucile Turc

Research Fellow (2014-2017)

Main Research Fields

My research focuses on the magnetic clouds, which are huge flux ropes ejected from the Sun during violent eruptions, and how they interact with the Earth's environment. I am particularly interested in the role played by the outer regions of the geospace, the bow shock and the magnetosheath. I am investigating how the properties of magnetic clouds change across these regions and how this affects their interaction with the magnetosphere and the development of geomagnetic storms.
